Highlights
Coasteering was invented here in Pembrokeshire, and Lydstep is one of its finest natural venues - sheltered cliffs, deep-water jump ledges and a swim-through cave you won't forget. We're a fully licensed (AALA) provider and members of the National Coasteering Charter, and our local guides have taken more than 50,000 people along this coastline since 2017. Sessions run at all levels: every jump is optional, so nervous first-timers and adrenaline-chasers get equally great sessions - our reviews back that up. We're also Tenby's top-rated activity provider on Tripadvisor, with over 600 five-star reviews. And we look after the coast we play on, recovering lost fishing gear and plastic from the sea as we go.

5Fantastic Coasteering Experience with an Exceptional Guide
We had an absolutely fantastic coasteering experience with Mark and the Tenby Adventure team. As a beginner swimmer who had only ever swum in a swimming pool, I was naturally nervous about entering the sea—especially when I saw the waves. However, Mark explained everything clearly before we started, reassured me and gave me the confidence to take part. Throughout the adventure, Mark was friendly, patient and extremely attentive. At one point, I was struggling to catch my breath because of the waves and also developed a calf cramp. Mark immediately recognised that I needed assistance and safely supported and towed me through the water until I recovered. His calm approach made me feel safe without taking away from the excitement of the experience. The excellent service began even before the activity. I had accidentally selected the wrong date when making the booking, but when I called Mark, he sorted it out immediately and changed the booking in the system without any difficulty. The entire adventure was exciting, enjoyable and very well organised. I’m genuinely grateful to Mark for his encouragement and support, particularly as this was my first time swimming in the sea. I would highly recommend Mark and the Tenby Adventure team, especially to anyone who may feel slightly nervous or lacks experience in open water. I would certainly love to return with more of my friends!
5Excellent coasteering trip at lydstep
A great coasteering trip. It was a beautiful part of the coast. With nice rock formations caves and cheese holes to explore as well as having some jumps and areas to get swooshed around in the waves. The water was a dreamy turquoise colour too. Mark the guide was excellent. He made sure you felt safe and was there if you needed him or for any difficult sections but also managed to not feel like he was micro managing everything you did when it wasn't necessary. He also made it feel like he was trying to give us the best experience possible to fit the group and the sea conditions without trying to rush anything which is a massive skill seeing as it's the end of the season. He also had some really interesting facts. Would come back and redo in future.
5Great experience!
10/10 experience! Second year I’ve been coasteering in Tenby and the instructors are great at guiding everyone and give clear instructions so people of all abilities (and confidences!) can give it ago. Would definitely recommend!
5Fantastic time coasteering on the Pembrokeshire coast
A fantastic experience led by an equally brilliant team. Would totally recommend to anyone who loves the water, adventure and seeing the fabulous Pembrokeshire coastline from a different perspective.
5Fab experience with adventurous kids
Great afternoon, was given chance to swap days due to a forecast storm on our booked day. Very rough sea but made the experience more fun. More scrambling and cliff jumping than cave swimming but think due to rougher waters
5Fantastic
What a fantastic time myself and my 13 year old son had. I highly recommend this coasteering experience. The instructors were friendly and throughly knew their stuff, which made some of the daring jumps, much less nerve wracking leaps! Thank you for such a wonderful activity.

About Tenby
Tenby is a walled seaside town in Pembrokeshire, with pastel-coloured houses around a small harbour, golden beaches and boats to Caldey Island.
Medieval walls, with the Five Arches gate, still surround much of Tenby's old town, whose narrow streets lead down to a harbour ringed by pastel-painted houses. A ruined castle stands on the headland, with a museum of the town's history beside it, and the Tudor Merchant's House is preserved with period furnishings.
Top-ranked sights in Tenby: Pembroke Castle (Castell Penfro).
